Cognitive Defense
How people are targeted, and controls that hold when you are tired.
Tier 1
Hold Attention
The attack surface is the decision pipeline, not only the false claim.
selective disclosure, repetition, amplification, identity pressure, saturation, and artificial urgency all work on attention before they work on facts.
Tier 1
Protect the Processor
Sleep loss, intoxication, panic, rage, exhaustion, and overload degrade the product.
Do not make a high-consequence judgment on a degraded processor. This is operational hygiene, not medical advice.
Tier 2
Information Diet
What you ingest becomes the architecture of the next decision.
In with the good. Guard against the bad. Information is abundant. Signal is not. Read to decide, not to perform.
